20 Things You Probably Didn’t Know & Link Up On the Edge #54
Once again, I have been procrastinating on my blog post because I have been at a loss for topics to discuss. Which is quite a strange phenomenon for a woman who could literally talk the face off of a marble statue. Fortunately for me, however, I have lots and lots of super creative blogger friends who inspire me daily. And thanks to Linda of A Labour of Life and her post today You Probably Don’t Know Part II (you can find the link to Part I in her post), I have been inspired to share some little known things about myself. If you know me really well, then some of…

What to Wear to a Summer Wedding with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #52
It is summer wedding season and although I do not have any open invitations this year, my brother-in-law is getting married next May. In preparation for that event, I have been trying out some different dress options. My boys will both be in the wedding all decked out in their little tuxedos and most likely not on their best behavior. I’m sure I will have to intervene and assist them at some point, putting me directly in the spotlight for at least a moment, since it is a natural human instinct to look at the parents of the rowdy children and wonder what the hell kind of mother allows their…

Torrid Date Night Outfit & Link Up On the Edge #51
Last month, I wrote a post about our trip to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and gave you a sneak peak of my date night outfit from Torrid Salmon Run Mall. Today, I am going to share some more photos and details on that outfit…mostly because I have been so busy the past two weeks that I have not photographed one single outfit. Well, except for the 8 outfits that I styled this past Sunday for my photo shoot with the super talented Sarissa Melissa Photography. I am so excited to share the final outcome of that photo shoot! But those photos will have to wait until another day. This outfit from Torrid…

A Little Post About Gratitude & Link Up On the Edge #50
Today started out to be quite dreadful. It began with a feverish and vomiting child, miserable PMS getting the best of me in every possible way, a broken toilet, and gray rainy weather. I succumbed to the misery for a brief moment (well maybe for a good 6-8 hours), but as I am writing this I have decided to change my perspective. The child is starting to feel better, nothing serious but a mild stomach bug. The toilet has been fixed by my incredible husband. The PMS and the rain are still persisting, but these things shall pass. So enough of all that nonsense, instead I want to talk about…

The Right to Change Your Mind & Link Up On the Edge #49
Way back in the infancy of this blog, I wrote a post 39 Lessons I Have Learned on My Journey Out of the Darkness into My Happiness. It is still one of my favorite posts. It took a lot of energy to draft and it’s long. But it’s heartfelt and intense at points. Just last night the topic of women always changing their minds came up. Often, among couples this is a common joke…how the man in the relationship is steadfast and consistent in his wants, needs, ideas, and beliefs and how the female is fickle and flighty and inconsistent in making decisions. In light of this age old (mis)conception,…

Self Confidence Saturdays with Torrid & Link Up On the Edge #48
If I am being honest, which I always try to keep it real and honest here, I am feeling quite lazy and don’t much have it in me to write something of substance today. Don’t misunderstand, it’s not that I don’t have anything to say. I have plenty to say, in fact. But I need some time to focus and put all of my ideas in order so I can deliver you the best content possible. So for today, to kick off the weekend, I am just going to share with you this pretty wrap dress from Torrid. Peach is not a color that I am generally drawn to, but…

Good Versus Evil & Link Up On the Edge #47
Good versus evil. It is a universal dichotomy that is as old as time. And it is a metaphysical idea that creeps into my brain in the wee hours of the night. (Or in the shower…I often do my best philosophical thinking in the shower). It is a topic that repeats itself over and over again in movies, in television, in songs, in religion, in law, in psychology. At times, it seems as if we are almost obsessed with the idea, but more so, we are obsessed with trying to make sense of it. *This is a sponsored post. I received this scarf c/o DressLily. As always , all thoughts…

What I Actually Wore on My Birthday & Link Up On the Edge #46
On Tuesday (my actual birthday), I shared with you all my special photo shoot showcasing my Checkered Pin Up Midi Dress courtesy of DressLily (you can view that post here). But today, I am going to share what I actually wore on my birthday. I spent most of the day running around and getting ready for our Fashion Show which was last night. We had an amazing time at the Runway on the Square: Frames, Fashion, and Footwear. We featured items from Shelbee on the Edge/Shelbee’s Shoppe, EyeCrave Optics, Strut Boutique, Solitary Consignment, and Avon Shoes. The lovely Melissa of Sarissa Melissa Photography was there capturing all of our best moments…

Discovering Blue with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #45
Green is my self-professed forever favorite color of all time. My eyes are a very pale shade of green and my mother always dressed me in green tones because they accentuated the color of my eyes. As a result, I have always loved green. I am always drawn to all shades of green in art, in clothing, in accessories, in nature. But for some reason, my closet is overwhelmed with the color blue, not green. So I was curious as to why this “contradiction” exists. One reason for sure is the limited availability of green apparel and accessories in the market. Even though Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2017…

Shelbee Got Her Groove Back & Link Up On the Edge #44
A little over a month ago, I wrote a post discussing the issue of decreased libido in my 40’s and what I was doing to deal with it. While this post probably received the least amount of comments on the actual blog itself (I attribute that to its title), it was by far my most popular blog post to date, logging the most page views I have ever had and the largest organic Facebook reach. Apparently, it is a topic that, although taboo, is still quite common and the response was overwhelming. A few weeks after I published that post and received the amazing response that I did, things started…
